Before operating, maintaining or servicing any
Ransburg electrostatic coating system, read and
understand all of the technical and safety literature for your Ransburg products. This manual
contains information that is important for you to
know and understand. This information relates to
USER SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT
PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the following symbols. Please pay
particular attention to these sections.
A WARNING! States information to alert you
to a situation that might cause serious injury
if instructions are not followed.
A CAUTION! States information that tells how
to prevent damage to equipment or how to
avoid a situation that might cause minor injury.
A NOTE is information relevant to the procedure in progress.

The user MUST read and be familiar with
the Safety Section in this manual and the
Ransburg safety literature therein identied.
This device is intended to be used by
trained personnel ONLY.
This manual MUST be read and thor-
oughly understood by ALL personnel who
operate, clean or maintain this equipment!
Special care should be taken to ensure that
the WARNINGS and safety requirements
for operating and servicing the equipment
are followed. The user should be aware of
and adhere to ALL local building and re
codes and ordinances as well as NFPA-
33 EN 50176 SAFETY STANDARD, or
applicable country safety standards pri-
or to installing, operating, and/or servicing
this equipment.
While this manual lists standard specications
and service procedures, some minor deviations
may be found between this literature and your
equipment. Differences in local codes and plant
requirements, material delivery requirements,
etc., make such variations inevitable. Compare
this manual with your system installation drawings
and appropriate Ransburg equipment manuals to
reconcile such differences.
Careful study and continued use of this manual will
provide a better understanding of the equipment
and process, resulting in more efcient operation,
longer trouble-free service and faster, easier troubleshooting. If you do not have the manuals and
safety literature for your Ransburg system, contact
your local Ransburg representative or Ransburg.

The hazards shown on the following
page may occur during the normal use of
this equipment. Please read the hazard
chart beginning on page 2.

Ransburg
AREA
Tells where hazards
may occur.
Spray Area
HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate operation and maintenance proce-
dures will cause a re hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of causing
re or explosion is lost if any
safety interlocks are disabled
during operation. Frequent power supply shutdown indicates a
problem in the system requiring
correction.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in
the spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the
accumulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must
be turned off prior to cleaning, ushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
• Those used for equipment ushing should
have ash points equal to or higher than
those of the coating material.
• Those solvents used for cleaning must have a
ash point at minimum of 5oC (9oF) greater than
the ambient temperature. It is the end users
responsibility to insure this condition is met.).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by NFPA-33, OSHA, country, and local
codes. In addition, ventilation must be maintained during cleaning operations using ammable or combustible solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented. Safe
sparking distance must be maintained between
the parts being coated and the applicator. A distance of 1 inch for every 10KV of output voltage
is required at all times.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but
only as instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized
equipment modications may cause re or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use
only during setup operations. Production should
never be done with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in waterborne installations to spray solvent based materials.
The paint process and equipment should be
set up and operated in accordance with NFPA33, NEC, OSHA, local, country, and European
Health and Safety Norms.

Explosion Hazard
Improper or inadequate operation and maintenance proce-
dures will cause a re hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of caus-
ing re or explosion is lost if
any safety interlocks are disabled during operation.
Frequent Power Supply or
Controller shutdown indicates

SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented. Safe
sparking distance must be maintained between the parts being coated and the applicator. A distance of 1 inch for every 10KV of
output voltage is required at all times.
Unless specically approved for use in hazardous locations, all electrical equipment must be
located outside Class I or II, Division 1 or 2
hazardous areas, in accordance with NFPA-33.
Test only in areas free of ammable or combustible materials.
The current overload sensitivity (if equipped)
MUST be set as described in the corresponding section of the equipment manual. Protection against inadvertent arcing that is ca-
pable of causing re or explosion is lost if the
current overload sensitivity is not properly
set. Frequent power supply shutdown indicates a problem in the system which requires
correction.
General Use and
Maintenance
Improper operation or maintenance may create a hazard.
Personnel must be properly
trained in the use of this equipment.
Always turn the control panel power off prior to
ushing, cleaning, or working on spray system
equipment.
Before turning high voltage on, make sure no
objects are within the safe sparking distance.
Ensure that the control panel is interlocked
with the ventilation system and conveyor in accordance with NFPA-33, EN 50176.
Have re extinguishing equipment readily
available and tested periodically.
Personnel must be given training in accordance
with the requirements of NFPA-33, EN 50-176.
Instructions and safety precautions must be read
and understood prior to using this equipment.
Comply with appropriate local, state, and national
codes governing ventilation, re protection, operation maintenance, and housekeeping.
